usbipd-win is a USB device sharing tool and network device driver that binds physical USB hardware to a network protocol. It serves as a management interface for sharing and attaching USB devices via network protocols, specifically providing a utility to map shared hardware directly into Windows Subsystem for Linux instances. The project implements USB over IP networking to share locally connected devices over a network for discovery by remote client machines. It enables virtual machine USB passthrough, allowing guest operating systems to interact with physical hardware directly. The softwar
Exports local USB devices over a network using the USBIP protocol for remote attachment.
